Liquid cooled blast

So Im trying to figure out the possibilities of a liquid cooled blast. Routing the fluid around the jug and removing the unnecessary fins seems like work but not to difficult. I think the hard part will be the fuel pump. It needs to be directly connected to the crankshaft. Im thinking Im going to need to fab a new primary cover Im stuck on how to connect it to the crank. If using a gear then what ratio. Is there a way I can directly connect it. Another challenge will be figuring out the right pump to avoid over or under cooling. Another concern I have is a cooling route through the cylinder head. Ideas are very welcome.

Well to be honest Because I think it would be a fun challenge to get right. Also when Im all done I want my blast to be a track day bike. I understand there are no passages for the liquid to travel. But if I remove two fins for every one fin then I am starting to form my passage. Im still brainstorming how I want to do the head but am thinking a similar concept or drilling a passage. This will be hours of work so good thing I have a second engine to experiment on.
